For the first time, both Mike and I have left our baby dog for more than a few days. We've flown home to the US to be with my family for Christmas. Fortunately, Pan is an adored grand-puppy and Mike's dad and stepmom are staying in Vienna and taking good care of him. I suspect he's not actually missing us as much as we miss him.
Meanwhile we've taken every opportunity to show off photos of our handsome fellow. Maybe they're just being polite, but the consensus seems to be that he is, in fact, a gorgeous Vizsla. We're grateful to breeder Szusza Bako for parting with one of her favorites, and to vet Eva Wistrela-Lacek for keeping him in good health through a few first year scares.
Most of all, we're grateful to have such a wonderful addition to our little family. Even when he pulls out an earring, steals slippers, or stretches to full length on the bed and tries to plop his head on our pillows, we couldn't imagine our world without him.
We hope all of you have someone equally loving and cuddly in your lives this Christmas.
Love,
Hilary, Michael & Pan
